Dale Strnad is somewhat of a comeback kid. His parents died when he was young and he was forced to navigate the foster care life. He admits he made some poor choices along the way, but he learned from it and decided that he could change himself and not be constricted by social labels.

His personal motto? Perseverance.

"Just keep moving. No matter how difficult things get, just keep moving no matter what and always look for the good. Always look positive and it’s there. You just got to look for it. Sometimes, it doesn’t look like it’s there but it is. There’s always something good there."

Dale has been dancing for more than three years now.

"Find your passion -- whatever it is. Dancing is a great movement sport; I would suggest dancing for everybody. My message to everybody is just keep moving."BACK TO THE DANCERS
